The day I woke up from surgery I was laying flat on my butt. When I went to sleep the next two night after I was on my back as well because I was not informed I couldn't sleep on my back until I followed up in three day. How much damage have I caused? Have I killed all the work done?
Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift - Sleeping on your back It doesn't appear as though much damage was done as things look very good! I don't know how consistent a patient can be in avoiding direct pressure when sleeping. That being said, with all the Brazilian Buttlift patients in my practice, I have never restricted them in ways to sleep. Check with your surgeon however in my practice I would tell you that things will be fine. Best Wishes!!

Answer: AVOID PUTTING PRESSURE ON YOUR BUTTOCKS AFTER BBL SURGERY. Hello jewlz696, It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Plastic surgeons have different post-operative protocols, customized for each patient’s needs and specific requirements, to achieve optimal results. Based on my experience, after performing Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery you must avoid sitting or sleeping on your back at least the first 8 weeks or else the desired outcome will be negatively affected. Putting pressure on your buttocks by sitting down or laying on it, especially for long periods of time, can stiffen, deform and even cause the resorption of the newly transplanted fat cells. Getting plenty of rest will help you remain comfortable and shorten your recovery. I suggest my patients stomach sleeping for least the first 8 weeks after BBL surgery, having different pillows at hand and changing their neck’s position from time to time, to feel more comfortable in bed. Side sleeping (in the rescue position on your side) can also be an option after BBL surgery, but only if you feel certain you won’t end up on your back. Most of your weight will be on the front of one of your hips. Your legs will be sprawled out, and you can place a pillow in between them to make it more comfortable. Consult with your plastic surgeon about the current condition of the newly transplanted fat cells. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.

Answer: Sleeping Post BBL Thanks for your question. There is no scientific evidence that sitting on a BBL will affect the results. However, it makes intuitive sense not to traumatize the areas where fat was placed and is currently healing. I suggest you check with your surgeon for his or her recommendation. Take care, Moises Salama M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Sleeping on back after BBL I think it is best not to sleep on your back after a BBL but it is certainly not as bad as sitting. I recommend my patients buy a horseshoe type or pregnancy pillow—also referred to as a husband pillow that wraps around you and can prevent you from rolling over onto your back at night but the reality is that everyone likely spends sometime sleeping on their back at night inadvertently and they do fine so I would not be too concerned.
